The Bureau of International labor Affairs (ILAB) has names 73 countries identified with child and forced labor. The list entitled, List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor include some of the staples food in the household and some of the precious items that you like to own.

ILAB maintains that the list is published “primarily to raise public awareness about forced labor and child labor around the world and to promote efforts to combat them….” adding, “it is not intended to be punitive, but rather to serve as a catalyst for more strategic and focused coordination and collaboration among those working to address these problems.”

The list comprised of staple foods like rice, banana, strawberries to precious items like gold, silver, and diamond. Whenever, you are purchasing any of this items, and more, stop and think for a minute whether the item has been produced by a child through child labor or forced labor.

This is the time to stand up against child labor and forced labor. Every school aged kid should be in school and not working, especially doing hard labor like mining diamond, making bricks, harvesting rice, sugarcane, cocoa, coffee, and so on.

You can download the 2014 report here and also read the list of countries and goods here.

According to Google search, an action is, “The fact or process of doing something, typically to achieve an aim.” Reading Dictionary dot com definition, one of the six listed definitions caught my attention more. It stated: “Anactthatoneconsciouslywillsandthatmaybecharacterizedby physicalormentalactivity.” So, to get result in any endeavor or desire, you have to act consciously, willingly, physically or mentally.

Nobody get’s result without taking action. Successful people take several actions before they achieve their desired result. One of the causes of failure, which occurs as a result of lack of action is giving up when you are yet to see your desire come to life. Napoleon Hill in his book, Think and Grow Rich calls it temporary defeat. Perhaps, family and friends even mock you for your lack of result, but when you don’t stop taking action, you will get your desired result.

Former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter focused on action to fight violence against women. He made this glaring in the title of his book, A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power. He knows that taking action and asking people to take action is what will eventually win the fight against the violence that affects women around the world.

I did a Periscope Broadcast today on taking action. You can watch the video below. The broadcast was informed by one of the viewers of my training on Starting your website with $0 down. Little did I know that she was taking action when I was doing the broadcast. Few hours after the broadcast, she sent me a Facebook message which I asked her permission to publish on my blog post yesterday. And, by today, her website was live and she already has some posts on it. That is how you take action. Action is what will give you result.

I hope you will take action today. Share what you are taking action on by commenting on this blog.

Thanks for reading. I hope to talk to you again through my blogs. If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please, send me a note – fill out the contact form. I want to hear from you. You can also get my recent posts by signing up to receive updates.
